Lodge resident has fun with jewelry

96-year-old Mary Leggat sparkles with energy.

A resident of Helen Henderson Retirement Lodge for almost two years, Mary worked long hours to make hundreds of necklaces, earrings and bracelets for a jewelry sale on Aug. 12.

“I started working with jewelry when I couldn’t do ceramics any longer because of space restrictions,” says the proud Scotswoman from her sales table in the lodge lounge. “I decided to try something else and this is the result.”

Known for her quick wit and friendly smile, Mary (formerly Clan Campbell of Argyll) puts a lot of thought into each piece of jewelry which she finds relaxing to make.

“It sharpens your imagination,” she says with a smile.

To see Mary’s jewelry, residents are invited to visit her in the lodge in Room 104.

The good ol' days

Some of our residents may remember...

In August 1947, the average annual income was $3,456 and minimum wage was 40 cents per hour.

The average cost of a new house was $13,000. A loaf of bread was 12 cents, one-dozen oranges were 49 cents and postage stamps were three cents each.

A ticket to a movie was 35 cents. A car cost $1,500. But best of all, gasoline was 23 cents per gallon-even cheaper than a gallon of milk, which was 80 cents.

The value of $1 in today’s currency would have been worth $5.92 in 1970.

The value of a dollar today, is worth less than it was in the past due to inflation. To offer further perspective, that same dollar was worth $23.63 in 1913.
